Whitstable Town remain four points clear at the top as they stretched their

period, were on target for the 'Oystermen', Sean Hetterley netted Lordswood's
consolation. Hythe Town remain fifth, on goal difference, after their goalless
draw at Faversham Town, the 'Lilywhites' first "no score" draw since
returning to the League. At Winch's Field, Greenwich Borough returned to
winning ways with a three one victory against Herne Bay which keeps them in
sixth place. Meshach Nugent netted a first half penalty before Chris Hubbard
and a Banner consolidated their advantage, Sam Denly scored 'Bay's' consolation
twenty minutes from time. After four straight defeats, Sevenoaks Town were
